A + B means ‘B is the brother of A’; A - B means ‘A is the mother of B’; A × B means ‘A is the father of B’; A ÷ B means ‘ A is the son of B’.
Son-in-law
Understanding the Blood Relation Symbols
This question requires us to decode a series of relationships defined by symbols. Let's first understand the meaning of each symbol as provided:
- A + B means ‘B is the brother of A’
- A - B means ‘A is the mother of B’
- A × B means ‘A is the father of B’
- A ÷ B means ‘A is the son of B’
We are given the expression: P + R × T - Q ÷ S + U. Our goal is to find the relationship between S and R.
Step-by-Step Decoding of the Expression
We will analyze the expression from left to right, determining the relationship between individuals at each step:
- P + R: Based on the rule 'A + B ⇒ B is the brother of A', this means R is the brother of P. This tells us R is male.
- R × T: Based on the rule 'A × B ⇒ A is the father of B', this means R is the father of T.
- T - Q: Based on the rule 'A - B ⇒ A is the mother of B', this means T is the mother of Q. This also indicates T is female. Since R is T's father and T is Q's mother, R is the maternal grandfather of Q.
- Q ÷ S: Based on the rule 'A ÷ B ⇒ A is the son of B', this means Q is the son of S. We know T is the mother of Q. Since Q has both a mother (T) and a parent S, S must be the father of Q. Therefore, T and S are married parents of Q.
- S + U: Based on the rule 'A + B ⇒ B is the brother of A', this means U is the brother of S. This confirms S is male, which aligns with our finding that S is the father of Q.
Establishing the Connection Between S and R
Let's summarize the key relationships relevant to S and R:
- R is the father of T.
- T is the mother of Q.
- S is the father of Q.
- This means T and S are married, and Q is their son.
- Since R is the father of T, and T is married to S, R is the father of S's wife.
In common family terminology, the father of one's spouse is referred to as the father-in-law.
Therefore, R is the father-in-law of S.
Determining S's Relationship to R
The question asks specifically how S is related to R.
- If R is the father-in-law of S, then S must be the son-in-law of R.
Comparing with Provided Options
Let's check our result against the given options:
- 1. Brother
- 2. Son-in-law
- 3. Grandson
- 4. Grandfather
- 5. (This option is empty)
Our calculated relationship, that S is the son-in-law of R, matches option 2.
